Stressed OUT!?! - Page 7

Stearns · 07-09-2010, 02:13 PM

An acrimonious divorce between my brother and sister-in-law. Worry over how my niece and nephews (6, 7 and 9 y/o) are being affected. My brother saying things to them about their mom; the emotional abuse he heaps upon her. He is unreachable, unreasonable, unrepentant. My nephew throwing up after witnessing a horrific argument. Mental picture of the three of them huddled in the car, watching. Wondering what I can do, if I can do more. Regret at having moved - though only a state away - so far away. If I had only known.

my brother and his wife went through this
and the kids did suffer.
but all you can do is offer what love and support you can to the kids,
and hope for the best.

make sure they know you love them no matter what, and that if they need you all they have to do is pick up the phone and call.

A horrible day at the internship site. All they make me do is paperwork. I'm a medical assistant for God's Sake let me do patients that's what they trained me to do. I'm bleary eyed from looking at a computer screen all day and the scans of patients charts from the nursing home. OMG what should I do?? go to the school and complain I guess that's what I am going to do!!

Stressful day. Okay now. Had a huge bowl of CoCo Pebbles for dinner. I deserved to blow it out with the CoCoPebs. I have eaten steamed veggies for the past three days. Don't want to get too healthy. LOL!

This woman at work who sits near me is either singing Christian music or talking all day long. Her talking is not work related noise, it is socialization ... either on the phone with her friends or with her friends that come and hang out. She and her friends get really loud. Management won't do anything about it. She and I had it out about three months ago. I told her she is rude and loud. Now I am the bad guy.

I simply tire of hearing her voice all f***ing day long. Yack, yack, yack.

I need to look for stronger earplugs. These I bought a while back are not getting the job done. If I were the type person to sue, I'd investigate my options ... but I am not.

Oh well, I won't let it spoil my weekend.

RockOn · 07-10-2010, 06:33 AM

Someone asked, "can't I be moved away from sitting so close to her?" That would be such a blessing but management won't do it - I already asked. I think they are afraid if they move me, there will be a great many others who will request to be moved away from someone they do not like or who they find loud. It is a common problem when you work in the cubie dweller environment.

Most days, I do okay with it. Once in a while, it gets to me. Yesterday afternoon was like that. Chances are, I will not let the situation get the best of me again for awhile. That seems to be the pattern. I tell you, I really do not like this woman. She seemingly only cares about herself and what she wants to do. My best friend at work sat by her for a couple of years a while back. He confided to me he experienced the exact difficulties. He told me it was hard for him to concentrate (we code software) with all her noise and her constant visitors. I feel somewhat validated in that at least I know it is not just me overreacting. I love my job so I just have to deal with it. The world does not revolve around my needs/wants. I am simply not that important. LOL!

Off subject ...
Trying to get some coffee in me. Kelly is starting her Saturday morning routine of wanting to go for a walk as soon as we get up - which is not possible. I have to have a little time to wake up, brush my teeth, shower and dress. My dog does not wait well.

Think I will take her over to this new place I fouind for her walk. Lots of trees, hence, lots of shade. I am wishing my life away but I am wanting November and the cool Fall air to arrive.

Hope everyone has a great Saturday!

Ok, I am not stressed at all. Went fishing and feeling relaxed as the ocean I just came from.
But... I am going to practice because I know that starting Monday this will be my most favorite thread to turn to because come Monday, I start my new position. So I have to practice lmao

Shhhh I'm just getting my feet wet!

Gemme · 07-10-2010, 09:38 PM

Today was a flashback day. It's been a while since we've been so busy and today made me remember just how damn hard it was. The day went by HELLA fast, but there were fires and issues that continuously cropped up.

I admit, I kind of like that, though. There's a certain satisfaction in fixing problems, big or small. I lost my cool once....okay more than that, but no one saw or heard me lose it the rest of the time. I think I smoothed it over, though.

*sigh*

I'm going to start having to put more than one person on mid-shifts during high check in days and we're going to have to get that breakfast attendant my bosses have been dragging their feet about. Welcome to summer in the PNW, folks.

JustBeingMe · 08-16-2010, 12:10 AM

Gemme · 08-16-2010, 01:33 AM

lipstixgal · 08-16-2010, 04:41 AM

Stressed out for sure got the shingles to prove it I guess it comes from stress?? Don't know all I know is that I'm in pain big time....

JustBeingMe · 08-21-2010, 12:24 AM

Why yes, I know I am.

JustBeingMe · 08-23-2010, 01:51 AM

Uh huh, still stressed out. UGH.

Miss Scarlett · 08-23-2010, 04:12 AM

Lots of stress over here...tomorrow Shelia's mom has thyroid surgery. Earlier this year they diagnosed her with breast cancer but little has been done since the chemo shrunk the lumps. But she has had several other problems crop up.

Have had to go to 2 funerals within a month - Shelia lost 2 family members.

Money is tight as always.

Today is my early day at work. Have to be there at 8 instead of 8:30. Traffic is so crazy here lately that my Monday drive is a always a bit more stressful than the rest of the week.

Been in counseling to work on why my weight ballooned to nearly 350 before losing over 130. Working through a lot of stuff there and it's not pretty. Having to confront what I have pushed away and chose to ignore or what I genuinely repressed is painful and stressful. Based on the journal writings I left with my counselor 2 weeks ago I am not looking forward to our session this week. It is going to be difficult because I am pretty sure we will be dealing with something I never told anyone until I gave her my journals to read.

I will survive - it won't be pretty at times but I will survive.

ruthie14 · 08-23-2010, 04:17 AM

Oh yeah...I am totally stressed out.

AtLast · 08-23-2010, 06:03 AM

Have to admit I am very stressed presently. Usually, I handle stress pretty effectively, but right now, I do feel overwhelmed.

JustBeingMe · 08-24-2010, 12:59 AM

Stress???????????YEAAAAAAAHhhhhh.

casey35 · 08-24-2010, 07:47 AM

I am a little stressed out , maybe a lot, I am in the process of finding a new job with hours i need. Trying to go back to college. With a new partner moving in, the count down is 4 days. Feeling the stress of that really got me wondering is this a good thing or bad. The communication is bad this last week. Have not decided if i need to yell or cry.

JustBeingMe · 09-02-2010, 12:44 AM

Since yesterday, when mom told me she needed to have an angiogram done again, because her heart is NOT getting Enough Oxygen to it, I have been stressed beyond measure. I am already so stressed over my own stuff and now this. OMG I think I am just going to lose my friggin mind.
I just pray that if mom has to have major surgery after finding out what's causing this, that it's done quickly and NOT during the time I have to leave and be elsewhere of which I have NO OPTION but to leave to attend to personal matters which I will not speak of here.
I don't think I can add another crumb to my plate, it's so overflowing right now it's unbelievable. OMG it's a damn good thing I don't drink.
